Saoirse Ronan watches out for a taxi while out in New York City on Saturday afternoon (March 12).

The 21-year-old Irish actress is preparing for her debut in The Crucible on Broadway, which opens on March 31st.

“I think no matter what, you have to follow your instinct, you have to trust your gut,” Saoirse recently shared about the best advice she’s been given.

She added, “Not just when it comes to work and like professional decisions, but just in your own personal life. You always need to follow what feels right to you, otherwise I don’t think you’ll be able to fully commit to a job.”
